Prevent and Respond to the Complex Issue of Sexting.
According to the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project, 15 percent of teens who own cell phones, ages 12 – 17, say they have received sexually suggestive nude or nearly nude images of someone they know via text messaging. An MTV/Associated Press study shows one in ten people, ages 14 – 24, shared a naked photo of oneself electronically. This practice is known as “sexting.” It is safe to assume that sexting among teenagers will continue to be a problem.
Sexting creates problems for everyone involved. There are countless examples of students putting themselves through humiliation, harm and jeopardizing their futures. Teachers and administrators across the country are facing legal ramifications, upset students and parents and in some cases losing their jobs.
Inside the School’s seminar on CD The Sexting Problem and Possible Responses reviews ways to better understand and be prepared for this complex issue. Seattle Public School’s Technology Bullying and Harassment expert, Mike Donlin, will discuss how and why it is done, suggest steps for a plan of action for when sexting arises, review ways to respond and more.
